black screen?

alright so i made my backup of mario party 8 was a pal version.burned it on a verbatim -r 2x speed it loads up on the menu but when i go to start it screen goes black and just sits there till i turn it off by holding the power. so could have it screwed up and ill need to make another or could it be the image itself thats damaged.

I am having this issue too. I have a Wasabi (I think) mod chip installed.

The recent games that I tried loading, like Punch-Out, fails to load. I see the splash screen and hear the intro music. But when I proceed to start the game... it goes into a black screen and freezes there.

I guess the firmware is outdated since this only happens on newer games. All my old games like Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles works fine. Would ios update fix this? Or would I need to do a firmware update?

wii-newb - Loading music, splash screen suggests a problem elsewhere. If your IOS were in need of updating the game would not even get to the strap screen.

uncjeffs - No, someone would have to get every game, open the ISO and analyse each update partition and record the results. It could work as a community effort but is something like this really needed?

cIOS 38 r14, cIOS222, IOS 38, 53 ,55, 56 ,57 are more than enough to get most if not all games working at this time.
